Tech- I Semester [R09] Regular/Supplementary Examinations, April -2013 VLSI TECHNOLOGY & DESIGN (Com to DECS,DIP,DSCE,ECE,ES,SSP,VLSI&ES,ES&VLSI,VLSID&VLSD,VLSI and C&SP) Time: 3 Hours Max Marks: 60 Answer any FIVE questions All questions carry EQUAL marks 1. (a) With neat sketches explain the formation of the inversion layer in P-channel Enhancement MOSFET. (b) An NMOS Transistor is operated in the triode region with the following parameters VGS = 4V ; V tn = 1V ; V DS = 2V ; W/L = 100; nCox = 90 A/V. Find its drain current and drain source resistance. 2. (a) Determine the Pull-up to Pull-down ratio for an nMOS inverter driven through one or more pass transistors. (b) Draw a simple BiCMOS inverter circuit diagram and explain its operation 3. (a) What are the different scalable design rules? Explain any one of them. (b) Design and draw a stick diagram for two input n-MOS NAND and NOR gates. 4. (a) What is meant by switch logic? Discuss about alternative gate circuits. (b) Explain how to determine resistive and inductive interconnect delays of logic circuits. 5. (a) What are the various simulators used for combinational logic design? Explain their need. (b) Explain how the gate placement effects load capacitance in fan-out of combinational logic. 6. (a) Explain the technology independent and technology dependant strategies of power optimization used in sequential systems. (b) Write notes on clocking disciplines. 7. (a) Explain the design validations in the floor planning methods. (b) Describe the Placement and routing techniques used in floor planning. 8. Write short notes on the following: (a) Layout Synthesis. (b) Hardware/Software Co-Design. ******
